AI Deception: How Tech Companies Are Fooling Us

thinking AI is doing your self checkouts and then finding out its just 1000 people in India watching the cameras 24/7 sounds like a good south park episode

"Full Self Driving" ...actually just some dude halfway around the world remotely turning your steering wheel.

I work in an aerospace MRO company and the marketing team is now labelling EVERYTHING a computer in our company does as “AI powered”… Literally techs that existed decades ago (FEA simulation, self-filling forms, automated tool management system, data analytics tool, etc) is now “AI powered” just because they r jumping on the trend. Management is now even encouraging engineers to consult chatgpt for our calculations… while i know for a fact it cant even convert some units correctly. This is ridiculous

AI has replaced between 60-100 people from the company I currently work for... And complaints from clients have increased..... Great informative video. Thanks 😊

What surprises me the most is the fact that Amazon was trying these "walk out" stores in the US where people already perfected this type of shopping.

Let's not forget, Mark Cuban was 100% all-in on NFT's and defended $43 million Bored Ape prices.

Cleaning toilets for a living might be the shittiest job I've ever had, but at least AI is unlikely to replace me.

AI is like 30 years ago when Intel used the term "MIPS" to promote CPU performance. MIPS stood for "Meaningless information to promote sales"

I worked for an accounting company from France that used hundreds of cheap laborer from Madagascar to manually input data from photos of actual bills people uploaded believing it’s OCR. Nowhere they mentioned it’s all done manually.

Just wait until they find out that every Alexa actually has a tiny person in it.

Imagine buying an AI Sex Bot only to find out that it is just some guy back in India.

I would go further: we don't actually have AI. We have machine learning, which has shown itself quite good at faking intelligence, but not actually intellifent. ChatGPT, under the hood, is an overpowered autopredict.

Wait, Amazon did something dishonest and unethical!? Gosh that's so out of character for them...

My problem with AI is it is fundamental a statistical model based on large amounts of data. The key is the quality of the data initially used and used to update the model. It doesn't actually think in any real sense of the word. AI is very susceptible to "Garbage in, garbage out".

I say an advert of either Twitter or Reddit yesterday by Samsung stating that their new vacuum cleaner, not an automated one like a Roomba but a handheld one, used AI. It's a handheld vacuum cleaner.

In my country, there are literally freelancer jobs where you identify text in an image and put it in a document. I looked into the company paying for these freelancers and they market their service as 'AI-powered' image to text conversion.

I worked with a company offering AI-powered coding services. While their AI models worked well 85%-90% of the time, it still wasn't good enough on its own. The models would hallucinate small, but important details that made the code unable to compile or unsafe to run. This meant that all of the code had to be manually reviewed, edited, or rewritten. It wouldn't surprise me if some executive decided to replace all of their developers with AI, realized that he screwed up, and then rehired people to do most of the work they were doing before under the guise of "supervising the AI".

When an industry focus on announcing eye-catching gimmicks rather than trying to solve the long-standing, fundamental problems(like instability and hallucination) of the technologies itself, you know this is a total scam.

there was a little tiny slip of the tongue moment in this video and I'm so glad you kept it in the final cut. it's such a comfort to have little human touches like that while listening to discussion about something as cold and emotionally removed as current ai thanks for another great video!
